Chapter 208 A single sentence almost sent someone to their doom.
A dimly lit, ambiguous bedroom.
Huo Qianfan's voice was sticky and hot, "Weiwei, I've already taken care of Su Xi. We can finally..."
Just as the last fig leaf was being removed, a loud knocking on the door shattered his sweet dream.
Huo Qianfan suddenly opened his eyes, realizing it was all a dream, and impatiently shouted towards the door, "Who is it?"
"You brat, get out here right now. I have something to ask you."
Upon hearing that it was his father, Huo Qianfan frowned and could only quickly put on his clothes and open the door.
The moment the door opened, a slap landed squarely on my face.
"Huo Qianfan, look what you've done. You actually dared to embezzle public funds and sell those problematic products to Tianjue. Are you out of your mind? Now Tianjue has terminated all cooperation with us, and Huo's assets have shrunk by a third. Are you satisfied now?"
Huo Qianfan's eyes narrowed sharply, and he asked incredulously, "It's just that there are some problems with the product. We can just return it. Why cancel all cooperation? Does having money make you superior? Isn't this bullying honest people?"
Mr. Huo was so angry that his chest ached terribly, and he wanted nothing more than to slap this idiot to death. "You fool, do you think Tianjue is as easy to bully and fool as other companies? Tell me, isn't this the first time you've embezzled public funds and used inferior products?"
Huo Qianfan's pupils flickered, and he shook his head firmly, "No, this is my first time doing this too. I didn't expect Feng Jue to hold me back. Tian Jue is rich and powerful, would he care about such a small loss?"
He's definitely targeting me and the Huo family on purpose. Even without these defective products, he would have found a reason to terminate the contract with us. This has nothing to do with me.”
Snap! Snap snap snap!
Furious, Mr. Huo slapped his son across the face several more times. "What sins did I commit in my past life to give birth to such a fool like you? Do you treat doing business like a game? Tell me, what did you do with all the public funds you secretly embezzled? Isn't the allowance I give you enough?"
Huo Qianfan remained silent with a cold expression, clearly angry.
He never expected his father to hit him over such a trivial matter, and to slap him so many times. Which is more important, money or his son?
When Huo's mother heard the news, she rushed over and was heartbroken to see the handprint on her son's face. "What happened? Why did you hit your son so early in the morning?"
Why don't you ask what good things your son has done?
Huo's mother looked at her son, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that my dad is obsessed with money. He values money more than his own son."
Mr. Huo's vision blurred. "You treat money like dirt, so why do you ask me for money every month? If you're not obsessed with money, why did you embezzle public funds and cause Tianjue to terminate the contract with us? The company lost 30%, and your allowance will also be reduced by 30%. If you dare to embezzle public funds again, you are not my son."
Huo's mother suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her son, saying with a look of disappointment, "Fanfan, is what your father said true? Did you spend all that money on that woman named Bai Luwei?"
Huo Qianfan's eyes flickered; he was clearly right.
"Son, you're being foolish. Bai Luwei is just playing with you. A simp will only end up with nothing. Spending money is one thing, but she didn't use you to do anything wicked, did she?"
"No, Vivi isn't that kind of person."
"No matter what, you must break up with Bai Luwei immediately. This woman will only harm you and our Huo family."
Huo Qianfan looked shocked. "Mom, I didn't expect you to be as mercenary as Dad. In that case, I won't take a single penny from the Huo family from now on. You can just keep that money and treat me like your son."
As he was about to leave, Huo's mother quickly grabbed him, tears welling up in her eyes.
Mr. Huo softened his tone and said earnestly, "Qianfan, I don't care who you're with, but you can't mess around with the company."
Think carefully about whether you've offended Feng Jue in any other way. It's not too late to say so now; we can prepare for the future. Otherwise, this incident could be a harbinger of the downfall of the Huo family.
Mrs. Huo's face paled, and she pleaded, "Son, your father is right, think about it carefully."
Huo Qianfan remained unperturbed. "No, not at all. Don't worry, I won't embezzle public funds again. I've learned my lesson. I'll make sure to control the quality properly in the future and try to cooperate with the Feng family again. Is that alright?"
After saying that, he turned and left to find Bai Luwei.
The Pei family.
Pei Yun Shen got up early, took a shower, and hired a top stylist and makeup artist to dress him up.
Looking at the cool and handsome man in the mirror, he puffed out his cheeks and blew a few breaths, picked up his coat and stood up. When he turned around, he was met with a gloomy face.
They were so close that their noses almost touched.
"Dad, you scared me."
Where are you going?
"Of course, we're going to see Anya."
"You bastard!" Pei's father slapped his son across the face, trembling with rage.
Yesterday, Su Xi's negative trending topics completely overshadowed Pei Yun Shen's. Su Xi was deemed too scummy and promiscuous, drawing widespread condemnation online, while many others defended Pei Yun Shen.
Unable to bear Pei's mother's tearful complaints, and fearing that his son would suffer in prison, Pei's father spent a large sum of money to bail him out.
He was fully armed except for his eye sockets, afraid of being seen by netizens, which would definitely cause an uproar. But Pei Yun Shen dressed up in a flamboyant way early in the morning, and went to the hospital to see Luo Anya with a straight face, which made him furious.
Mr. Pei took a deep breath. "Didn't you see online? Su Xi's trending topics have been completely removed, and now all the negative trending topics are about you. If you go out, you'll definitely get rotten eggs thrown at you."
That's not the point. The point is, if those netizens find out you were released so quickly and their investigation leads back to our company, the Pei family's century-old legacy might be in jeopardy.
He went to bed early last night after getting his son out of the water, never expecting that the sky would fall when he woke up this morning. Su Xi's trending topics were gone, and his son had become a universally condemned, born bad seed.
But that's alright; the hype will die down after a couple of days of criticism. If news of his son's bail leaks out, the whole situation will spiral out of control.
Pei Yun Shen pouted, "Dad, I came back from the police station yesterday and nothing happened to me, right? I'll be fully disguised and won't let anyone recognize me. Dad, you can just pay to take my trending topic down."
Mr. Pei swayed with anger. "You, surnamed Pei, are truly incorrigible. President Feng said you have to curse on the trending topics for three days and three nights. Besides, do you think you can just remove the trending topics as you please? The Pei family doesn't have Tianjue's ability."
I'm warning you, sever all ties with Luo Anya immediately, or the Pei family will terminate its cooperation with the Luo family.
Pei Yun Shen sneered, his words almost sending his father to his death.
